Anonymous posting is only appropriate when you are revealing sensitive employment related information about a firm, job, etc. You may anonymously respond on topic to these threads. Unacceptable uses include: harassing another user, joking around, testing the feature, or other things that are more appropriate in the lounge.

As requested, TLS will now open a forum that can only be viewed or used by law school graduates (and TLS moderators). To gain access to this forum, users must provide proof of law school graduation.

For verification of your law degree please email forumadmin at with the word "Verification" and your username in the subject, and attach two pictures from different angles each containing your diploma and a scrap of paper with your username written on it. You can black out your real name on the photos if you prefer. Users with little or no TLS posting history might sometimes require further validation.

If you don't receive a reply to your verification email within one full business day then please send a private message to forumadmin mentioning that you haven't received a reply yet.

Because I'm a rebel/counter-culture icon/bohemian revolutionary, and because I actually don't have my diploma (have I mentioned how much contempt I have for law school? It's rolled up in a box somewhere in my parents house hundreds of miles away), I ignored your verification requirements and sent an email that should still pretty conclusively identify me as a lawyer.

Would I be correct in assuming that anything submitted for the purpose of validation will be kept confidential and that the identity of the user will not be made public to anyone other than the person running the accreditation? And also, who is checking IDs at the door?

Yes, it will all be kept confidential. The person currently checking is the forum administrator.
